The Justice Department on Wednesday vowed to thwart any efforts to intimidate voters at the polls on Tuesday and to ensure that the ballots of military voters are counted, as activists on both sides of the political aisle reignite their regular election-time tango over the dangers of voter fraud versus voter suppression.
Facing separate investigations in its handling of a voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party and questions over the failure of absentee ballots to be sent to military personnel and their families by the legally required date, the Justice Department moved to assure voters that they will have access to the polls and their votes will be counted in the midterm elections.

In a double-barreled release of unusually lengthy press releases, along with a briefing for reporters by Assistant Attorney General Thomas E.

Holder should spend the next two years in the witness chair.
When pigs fly.
Amen to that!
I honestly think he’ll resign but they can still subpoena him.

Holder should spend the next 50 years in prison.
Don’t believe it for a second . . . nonsense! This is just PR for CNN and Kieth Overbite.
OMG, my typing fingers just barfed!
What a joke. No one in the known universe
believes anyone in the DOJ
(Holder’s protectors of terrorists and voter criminals).
Yeah, like Holder’s Do(in)J, who has made it clear the Equal Protection and voting rights don’t apply to the “wrong” race (ie, whites), is actually going to do anything.
Hey you racist demscum, at least stop insulting our intelligence. Oh yeah, and GTH!
These people are absolute, visceral, psychotic scu&bags.
IMHO
Yeah, the votes will be counted . . . by SEIU
Exactly...Holder, Perez and all the appointed staff have lied through their teeth on the Black Panther intimidation case and the military voting, they're still lying.
Resignation won’t save him.
"Holder should spend the next two years in the witness chair."
Investigate, indict, incarcerate. Time to go to jail boys and girls, time to bring back the rule of law.
Some people in the Justice Dept should be in jail....
Great graphic and truer than many think!
